GitHub Up and Running

Eureka!!! After three days I've got GitHub functioning on my outdated mac snow leopard machine. First I couldn't install the GitHub GUI because I needed to upgrade to mountain lion, and then the https connection was failing because some error with a "git-remote-https requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0" so weird, but finally I got to be able to connect with SSH. I feel super amazing, I generated a public key with my machine and then shared it to GitHub and viola!

I'm now pushing and pulling files up to and down from the GitHub cloud. E-commerce project - get ready, I'm coming for you.

Selenium WebDriver

So I've been using the Selenium IDE in firefox to learn how to make tests for webpages. It's been pretty fun, but today I started playing with the big guns. I started developing tests in Eclipse using the Selenium WebDriver to make browsers do stuff.

I'm learning about the build paths, java projects, and packaging. When I finally got the first test to run I was so excited- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :D
